Access control panel from WAN(not recommend).


Recommended Posts

I have a nighthawk r8500 with dd-wrt firmware connected to modem and the netduma connected to the nighthawk.  I only use the nighthawk for host filtering on the ps4 and it is the only device connected to it wired with wireless disabled.  I have enabled access control panel from wan and have dmz the ip address assigned to the netduma but i cannot access the netduma from my pc. The only way i can connect to the netduma interface is connecting my pc to the netduma and typing in the defualt address.  How can i log into my netduma router while keeping my pc connected to my nighthawk?

Firstly I would recommend modem > Netduma > nighthawk (AP mode), then you can make use of the Netduma's congestion control. You should be able to access the interface from your PC by typing in your public IP address with the setup you have currently. You won't be able to access it otherwise.

I thought i was supposed to type in the ip assigned to the netduma router for example it would be an internal ip like 192.168.1.100.  

 

I had my network setup this way before with netduma first in line but i prefer dd-wrt qos control and its way less glitchy. Plus im on a connection over 300 megs so in order to get max speed congestion control gets disabled anyway.  Also i get better buffer bloat ratings with preemptive so i only want to use netduma for ps4 to get the best connection without it effecting the rest of my network.   I still have several unstable issues with the netduma router and the only feature really needed is host filtering as I am only using it for ps4.  Im able to get A+ rating for everything on dsl reports with current setup being Moden, Nighthawk, Netduma.  

 

Ill try using my public ip to see if it will let me access the wan port that way and report back, thanks for the reply.  Ive used remote access on several routers before they typically require :8080 after the ip is this needed for netduma?

Using my external ip or internal ip assigned to net duma with wan access enable brings up error page this site cant be reached.  How can i access netduma router page from my computer connected to nighthawk router.  Im able to connect to nighthawk router when hard wired to netduma but not vice versa.  Is there an option i need to enable on the nighthawk its running customer dd-wrt firmware.

What glitches are you having with the R1 QoS? You should just be able to reach those speeds without enabling super turbo mode. Everyone has way too much emphasis on bufferbloat it's only an issue around the point of saturation and at 70% anti-flood it does not saturate. What unstable issues are you having?

It works that way because you're always able to access the upstream router not downstream. I don't believe there would be an option to allow you to do this as the Nighthawk is doing routing so you can't access the R1 directly with that setup.

Im on a 1gig connection so i have to have super turbo mode active to reach max speed which disables cc control.    I am really happy with the way dd-wrt qos handles my heavy network load and is much better for wifi strength and range including 5g.   I have strange issues with the netduma most noticeable very laggy user interface where many times i have to power cycle the unit to even make it usable. Another frustraiting thing it looses its settings during a power cycle at least any settings that i may have made without saving profile or using the reboot router button within the interface.  Many times i cannot get the page to load with the reboot router button so i have to manually pull power.

 

  Also during gaming mostly when it was used as primary router I would have skipping game play.  A power cycle would remedy this for a while but would eventually come back after a short period of time. I also notice if im logged into the user interface and mess with settings mainly host filtering settings that it would bring back the lag.  I think my network has to much going on for the netduma this is why its much better suited to only run the ps4 using mainly host filtering settings and let the nighthawk with dd-wrt handle the heavy load. 

 

The bummer now being I want my main pc to be connected to my nighthawk but still have access to the netduma interface my understanding to make this work was the wan option in misc settings.  Is there any other way to make this work?

See here for laggy interface, does this resolve your issue? http://forum.netduma.com/topic/19266-slow-gui-interface-the-solution-is-here/

 

Yes I wouldn't recommend rebooting by unplugging as it will lose settings since last reboot via the button. As in you can't load the miscellaneous page at all? Are you using Google Chrome/Firefox? 

 

What was your ping showing? Was it fluctuating? Accessing the interface to change settings shouldn't have an effect on your game at all (other than the settings you change of course). The Netduma can support a lot more devices than a residential home would be utilising so that shouldn't be the cause, however thats fair enough, your setup makes more sense now i.e. 1gig/5g WiFi.

 

No I don't believe there is a way. If you had the Netduma first with Nighthawk behind it and were connected to the Netduma I don't believe you'd be able to access the Nighthawk either.

 

Strange thing I have noticed is by not having enable cookies checked I do have less interface lag issues but then it doesn't remember any of my settings on that page which is annoying.  

 

If that's the case I would lean towards the fact that you may need to clear your cache/cookies.
